Description
Description
When WebView2's parent control is hidden, the status bar remains visible
Version
SDK: 87.0.664.66
Runtime: 1.0.664.37
Framework: WinForms
OS: Win10
Repro Steps
- Embed WebView2 in a WinForm1
- Another WinForm2 shows the WinForm1 (modeless)
- Move the two forms side by side
- WebView2 navigates to a web site that is slow to load
- WinForm2 hides the WinForm1 which hides the web page
Expected: WebView2 is fully hidden
Actual: Status bar portion of WebView2 remains visible
